Friday Night Sew-In #2 Results...

Hello!

Last night I was going to work on my own Thanksgiving apron which I cut out the other day.

Then I remembered that when I went out to get fabric for my new fall apron swap buddy Donna, that I also picked up some fabric for a Halloween apron for myself. I was going to use the same pattern for my Thanksgiving and Halloween aprons, so I figured I cut out the Halloween one so I could work on them both together.

After I cut out the first apron I was on a roll and figured I'd go ahead and cut out the swap apron as well, so it would be ready to go. I can't show you that one as it's a surprise!

I was enjoying the cutting out process tonight and wanted to keep going so I cut out my Ghastlies project as well.

By then it was 11:00 so I decided to call it a night. Even though I didn't actually sew anything for the Friday Night Sew-In I did cut out 3 sewing projects﻿. That is an important and necessary step to the actual sewing. Now I have 4 projects ready to go! I'm hoping I can begin on them tomorrow.

I did get a lot of sewing done on Thursday. I finished up my 6 block 6's for the Stars Quilt-A-Long.

All the blocks are done! The next step is putting the blocks together and adding the two borders. Then the quilt top will be done! I will work on that this week. I can't wait to see how it turns out! This was my first real quilt and I'm so excited to see it all come together.

Today I went to a couple of Thrift stores. I'm hoping to get pictures taken tomorrow so I can show you the fabulous items I got.

One Project a Month!

Hope to Start This Soon!

I'm way behind... hoping to catch up soon!

I'm a California girl who longs to live in the country. I have two grown children (boy 24, girl 22) who are on their own already and a 17 year old autistic son at home. I'm currently a stay-at-home mom but will soon be attending school and returning to the work force after 18 years. It's terrifying!

I've been crafting in some form most of my life. I've dabbled in just about everything with a big influence in decorative painting, paper crafting, cross-stitch and now sewing. I love quilts, aprons and anything vintage! I'm a country girl at heart and long for a simple life. I will be opening an Etsy shop soon with my handmade goods (quilted items, aprons, paper crafts & more!).

I look forward to making lots of new friends. I only hope you will be interested in some of what I have to say! LOL!!! :)
